You've asked this before on another thread and I’ve made this point in response before. Here goes...
ME or RW pilots crossing to FJ have to do the full basic and advanced FJ courses. Of course, RPAS pilots would have to do the same. If the very slight reduction in the amount of elementary flying leads to any aircraft handling issues, it’ll be exposed in the basic course where it can be easily addressed.

You get the picture, I’m sure. We don’t send crossover pilots straight to OCUs, if that’s what you were wondering.
